Ares division Reaper Varient "T" testing concluded that the "increased volume" in the "Lower waist section" resulted in a 15% reduction of incoming fire, additionally single target non-lethal take down protocols were developed, resulting in a 86% success rate, 10% of targets escaping and 4% of targets perishing due severe skeletal and respiratory trauma.
